The backs and seats are secured to a collapsable wooden Director's Chair frame which is designed to stand on the floor or ground.
The applicable subheading for the canvas backs and seats will be 9401.90.50006, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for seats (other than those of heading 9402), parts, other. The rate of duty will be 4 percent ad valorem.
